Step 1: Access Your Account and Check Your Balance
Before you start generating assets, it is always a good idea to know exactly how much creative power you have left for the month.
Open SuperCool: Navigate to supercool.com
Locate your allowance: Look up at the top right corner of your screen and hover over your profile icon. Your current plan's monthly credit allowance and remaining balance will be clearly displayed there.
Step 2: Understanding Credit Costs
Different types of media require different amounts of computing power, meaning they cost varying amounts of credits to generate.
Images: Every image you generate will cost a flat rate of 64 credits.
Videos: Because video generation is highly resource-intensive, it costs 183 credits per second of footage generated.
Audio and Documents: Text-based documents and audio files use significantly fewer credits, making them highly cost-effective to generate.
Step 3: Pro Tips for Saving Your Credits
To avoid wasting your monthly allowance on trial and error, keep these best practices in mind:
Be highly specific: The more detailed and exact you are in your initial request, the less likely you will need to spend extra credits asking for revisions.
Preview before scaling: Always generate and preview a single version of your concept before asking the AI to generate multiple different variations.
Reuse past work: Remember that SuperCool saves everything in your chat feed! Instead of regenerating a file you have already made, just scroll up into your history and download or reuse the past asset for free.
Step 4: How to Get More Credits
If you run out of credits before the month is over, you don't have to stop creating. You have two simple options to keep your projects moving:
Pay-as-you-go: If you just need to finish up a single project, you can use the pay-as-you-go option to buy a temporary credit boost without changing your overall subscription.
Upgrade your plan: If you find yourself consistently running out of credits, you likely need a larger monthly allowance. Simply click your profile icon in the top right corner and choose Upgrade plan to move to the next tier.
Use Social Media: Post, like, and comment with your friends on the SuperCool social home page to earn credits.
